That's how adventurous people are

Below you can see the defining characteristics of adventurous people.


1. Get out of your comfort zone

The comfort zone is that set of habits and places in which we feel comfortable and safe, given that we associate them with tranquility, predictability and what does not cause problems or give rise to challenges that may stress us.

Adventurous people are able to appreciate the advantages of this "safety zone", but they are not satisfied with staying in it indefinitely . That is why they pose challenges that at first seem intimidating to them, and they go for them. It is not just a matter of experiencing that state of excitement and illusion for the future; In addition, they do it to learn and gain skills that can serve them in the future, something that would not happen if the routine marked their day to day.

2. They look for any excuse to travel

When we speak of adventurous people, it is very possible that we think of visits to exotic and distant places, with few comforts and with an attitude based on curiosity and improvisation.

This usually corresponds to reality, because although in theory to live adventures we do not have to move from our city, in the long run the body of adventurous people seeks to move to other areas. This is so because the fact of being physically in new places, with unknown elements, it stimulates us sensory as well as cognitively , and this is something that this psychological profile longs for.

3. They do not think about borders

Contrary to what happens with conservative people, who link their identity to their group identity concept of their ethnicity or nation, adventurous people do not commit themselves to specific territorial entities: the whole world is their playground.


That is why they reject the idea of ​​living irremediably separated from those places that are guided by other logics and norms, and that they are relatively open with people who come from other cultures .

4. They do not systematically reject risks

The idea of ​​exposing oneself to certain dangers in exchange for living a stimulating experience is not totally rejected by this type of person. The reason is that you try to take stock of the costs and benefits, instead of rejecting the situation, because from the beginning it is assumed that any stimulating situation comes from the hand of a healthy dose of stress and of uncertainty.

The emotion produced by adapting to the change, in short, means that the possible inconveniences are minimized or, at least, its importance is not overestimated.

5. They have low tolerance to monotony

Not all aspects of the adventurers' personality are positive. For example, this is seen in their resistance to adapting to contexts and activities that end up being characterized by their monotony.

In practice, this means that they do not stay long in the same place if it offers little variety of stimuli and activities. However, this can also occur in relationships, as they are related to the type of habits that are adopted when living together.

6. They do not seek satisfaction in fantasies: they make them come true

There are those who spend the day imagining ideal situations as a way to obtain satisfaction. This is not seen with good eyes by the adventurous people, since it can be interpreted as a way of evading reality. That is to say, a deception that one uses with oneself so as not to leave the comfort zone.

Thus, when an adventurous person poses an ideal situation, try to fulfill it in practice, not in the imagination . If he does not succeed, after a brief period of frustration, they move on to another goal, so as not to be "blocked" and lose the opportunity to live other experiences.

7. They learn on their own

The way of learning of the adventurous people is not passive, and it does not always depend on the activity of educators. That means Self-taught learning is a constant in your personal development . These are objectives and goals based on skills to achieve both short and long term.

Now, learning on your own is a challenge in itself.Therefore, they try to know the best means through which they can obtain the information they need or the precise training to reach that point to which they choose.
